Durban P. CaliLightworks SS 1100UVB Test

@stevieb21, Hahaha! all that hard work you put in should pay off 😉

@Short_N_stockY, if mine turn out anything like your DP grow I’ll be very happy!

@stevieb21, the first overhead shot is my favorite on this site right now. Sorry I didn't clarify its my 1st time running regular seeds I started HST and a couple hermied but I'm forgetting my strain is part cookies. I forgot DP is a more stable strain. Cheers!

@skidmarx, Haha ya I love to ramble so I can’t wait for updates. These are not autoflower, if that’s what you mean by “if they were regs”. If you mean regs as in an indica vs a sativa then I’m not entirely sure to be honest. Indies don’t stretch as much so not as much need to pull them down or take HST measures. That being said, Indicas also won’t tolerate the intensity of the light as much as the Durban Poisons so it really depends on your situation. Just watch your plants closely...give them what they need and think ahead before whatever technique you use. I love bushy plants and being able to train them so this is my style. Plus it maximizes canopy space!

@skidmarx, thanks for the comments! As far as the stress I was seeing at week 4, it just seemed the new growth tips were struggling a bit. Looking back, I don’t think they were affected much to be honest. I wanted to test the light in all functionality at ceiling height anyways so it persuaded me to move it early. The tent is 80” ish as I had to cut it down a few inches to fit. If I didn’t have the ability to control the light spectrum to help reduce stretch during the first few weeks of flower then I’d likely have a little more difficulty but either way I like to work with the plants on a regular basis with my training techniques so it wouldn’t be impossible 😁 I’m told this light will be ok up to 90cm distance for Indicas so sativas will tolerate a little more but my goal is to maintain 36” for optimal UVB exposure at the end. Thanks for the follow and good luck on your grow as well!

@NomNom, lmfao, totally eh?!!! And to think I've just ordered more!! lol

@Mrs_Larimar, thanks so much for the info, it’s comforting to hear people experiencing the same nuisances and getting through!,

@The_Projexx, thanks man! And I really appreciate the thorough input! I’m excited again haha

@skidmarx, I am blown away at the results with this light. I'm going to drop it a little closer this next run to see how all the different strains handle it and when they start to burn. I'm told Indica dominant strains will not like being closer than 36" to this light. I'll be starting a few diaries soon as I want to separate the strains. I think I may have mixed these up as the tightest of buds are on what I thought was the Durban Poison, but I would have assumed that the Cali OG Haze Kush would have had the tightest buds as it has the Cali OG strain in it. Sigh...I'll have to pop some more seeds to find out in the future haha

@skidmarx, I have three settings I use for flower. First three weeks after turning to 12/12 they will want to stretch like crazy so I go with R99 W99 B50 as the blue spectrum is more for plant veg. Once they have finished their stretch I use R99 W99 B39 for the full flower, less the last two weeks in which I will change it for the finish spectrum of R39 W99 B99 as the plant growth slows and mainly terps and resin. Each strain will want it own thing so play around...that’s what I’m doing. You can customize your cannabis with a good LED setup with full spectrum control which nothing else on the market is able to do the same.
